Preview Round 18, 2023 : North v Hawthorn, 1:10pm Sunday 16th July, Marvel stadium

[The hands of stone]

We should be winning this nicely , think we turned the corner last week and we are more progressed now and a beyter side then they are.
But you never know . Our worst to best is huge .

Heading off to states in about 4 hours .....hoping to log in next week and see a W in the column

 

[H00t]

With Simpkin out all Finn has to do is tag LDU and our midfield will have a day out.

LDU does most of his work in the centre square where Finn won’t be. I reckon if he goes to anyone it will be TT.

Good talk from Ferg, covers the upcoming North game too

Fergus Greene Interview by Talking Hawks

In the lead up to the round 18 game against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, Fergus Greene joined the Talking Hawks Podcast to discuss how he ended up on the Hawthorn list, what he has been working on in terms of developing his own game and how the forward line and midfield are continuing to...

IN: Sicily, Meek
OUT: Blanck, Reeves

Extended break for Punky & next week back in team instead of Chad.

Would like Long to get a go but that has to be instead of Scrimma & will require moving the magnets around.

Another take this with a grain of salt post.

I got the below message from a regular training watcher.

"Ryan had his right knee strapped at training this morning and left the track early.
DGB trained in the forward group Kosi in the backs Reeves taping on his left knee
Light duties group was Morrison, Lewis, Seamus and Fionn.
Karl didn't do any of the training"

Kosi went back last week during the VFL game so that would make sense to see him get some more game time there. Andy Collins is big on players having versatility and seeing as how Kosi was a natural backman, it might help to reinvigorate him.
DGB forward makes sense as Sam said at the press conference last week that they would continue to see if there was some merit in it.
Fionn missed the past two VFL games with knee soreness, but will hopefully be right to get a few games in before the end of the VFL season.

Ferg was an absolute ripper to chat with. Love the way that he says he doesn't want to let the team down. Is an ultimate team player and seems to be relishing being part of the Hawthorn team.

Are you telling me TT is not in jail?

 

[H00t]

Not in jail and north doesn’t even have the backbone to not play him.

I think Thomas is the best option. The other one would be Sheezel

He's missed a lot of footy. All deserve another chance. Hopefully for his own sake he can turn it all around... probably at another club

No. Second chances are for minor discretions. TT is a piece of s**t.

How many deserve 5-6 chances, where's the line?

Carey is still looking for it......

 

[bigbuddyboy]

What sort of message would that send to Finn.

He was told to do a job on Kelly and he absolutely nailed it, there is no way on earth he is getting dropped.

It probably sends the same message to Finn that Morrison received after the blues game.

You guys are doing some great work. Really enjoying the interviews is giving us some great insight.

 

[TylerDurden]

Looks like Day is right to go with that shoulder.

Unsure how Lewis has pulled up from the ankle.

 

[Bugs1977]

Carey is still looking for it......

Wouldn't have thought the Duck would have any problems whatsoever finding some lines

 

[Bugs1977]

If Finn plays and tags him then he'll wish he was in jail

 

[hawkguru]

Why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone and bring in Ramma to play up forward to prevent Lewis getting triple teamed and allow Reeves a chop out in the ruck?

I was thinking that, would also give DGB that third tall role. With Logue out and their backline thinned, Rama might get a run at it and kick a few. Be great too see him in action.

Loving the TH podcast. The six points reviews of each round are fantastic. Great work!!

We have been really lucky to be able to work with the club to showcase the players this season, both at AFL and VFL level. Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it.

Hi all. Does anyone have information about Day’s shoulder injury? It looked bad enough to warrant a rest, but I haven’t seen any news about it this week.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Happy for Thomas be left alone to score a modest 93 Supercoach points.

Trained fully yesterday.

 

[lethalselbow]

Any danger of Reeves taking a mark?

15 games in 2023 for 19 marks is a pretty poor return for a guy who is 209cm tall.

vs

Meek: 13 games for 32 marks.

One of the two needs to stamp his presence on the ground to become the number Hawthorn ruckman. I'd only have one in the side, this week, but not sure quite sure who I'd take. Anyways, ruck wise,

OUT: Noodle
IN: Meek


World's worst drinking game: Every time Noodle takes a mark you have to drink.
